I have to say, this past month has been so much fun and absolutely eye opening when it comes to an infants growth and development. I can't believe all the changes from 5 months to 6 months. Luke and I keep saying it feels like we have a toddler now instead of an infant. Jameson is developing the most wonderful personality and he is such a happy/healthy baby!
6 month statistics:
Weight: 19.3 lbs (78%)
Height: 27 3/4 inches (88%)
Head cir: 17 3/4 (51%)
Diaper size: 3
Clothing size: Anywhere from 6-12 month (depends on the brand)
Jameson's developments over the last month:
It has been a very exciting month! Where do I even begin with the changes from the last month. I know I mentioned in the last "birthday blog" Jameson was sitting up on his own... Well now he really is sitting on his own. He can sit on the floor and "play" with toys all by himself! It's a wonderful new development. I love the fact that he is gaining some independence and is really enjoying his surroundings more. He is also grabbing for EVERYTHING! Not to mention, after he gets what he is reaching for it goes directly in his mouth. I have to admit, it's pretty comical because he seriously tries to put the entire object (no matter the size) into his mouth at once. And if it doesn't fit you ask... he SCREAMS! All I can do is laugh... haha! Jameson is still eating about every three hours, but he is also getting two meals a day of fruit and veggies. He enjoys eating off a spoon, but the bottle is still his number one! The biggest change over the last month would have to be NAP TIME! Yes, we actually have a nap time now! Mommy had had it with no naps during the day. He would be completely spent by mid afternoon, but would refuse to nap. So income sleep training! I just decided one day to lay him in his crib in the afternoon and sure enough... He was out within 10 minutes! It's been so nice; not only to have him get some rest but to get a few things done around the house as well. Nap time can range anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours, but something is better than nothing. Morning naps are another story... and probably another blog. Oh and how could I forget... TEETHING! Yes, we started teething! I know I said previously that Jameson has been taking teething like a champ... Well let me rephrase that comment... He is a "typical" teething infant now. Runny nose, spats of crankiness, nothing making him happy at times, tired... You name it and we have experienced it. BUT... he has 2 bottom teeth and 2 top teeth! He is so funny to watch because he liked to chew on his fingers before, but now that it actually hurts to bite down he is finding out that doesn't feel so good! haha. He also is moving his mouth and chin around in such funny ways exploring those "new things" intruding in his mouth. Jameson is also responding to his name and to all the noises around him. He loves to laugh, giggle, scream, jump around on mommy and daddy's lap and of course (my favorite) cuddle.

It has been such an exciting month for all three of us! Luke and I LOVE watching Jameson's developments and he truly warms our heart each and everyday! I couldn't imagine our life without our little pumpkin! Love you, Jameson!
